"...Mitt Romney sounded not so terribly different from Obama on Afghanistan, with the crucial difference that he wants out faster. Michele Bachmann and virtually all of them thundered that we had no need to be involved in Libya, least of all by playing second fiddle to France (a few things don't change). Ron Paul peddled his predictable isolationist wares, and he did so to a rather robust round of applause.

"...Their message with respect to America and the world (except from Rick Santorum, who mounted a lonely defense of our worldwide military presence) was that we should just stay home and forget about it.

Hate to burst your bubble, but the DC Empire is BROKE, out of money, finished. The kindly ChiComs might toss us a few more trillion to keep us afloat, but the cost of holding down a far-flung empire and dictating to the world how to behave has gutted our economy.

Even our milquetoast Congress is resisting the president's illegal war in Libya, another fun adventure we cannot afford.

The nexus of old-school foreign policy liberal and whippersnapper-ish neo-con thought. I dig this post! For the kids of America, our "unique power" (with all the implications/ramifications) is an imperative and our birth right with a history speaking to the vitality and accomplishments of this country and its people. (Where we prob. diverge is acknowledging when we've failed. You know, the modest exceptionalist.)

Running to the left of 44 is proof: the neo-con wing of the GOP is dead - I'm cool with that. Let a new interventionist FP coalition be formed out of necessity.

wHoA!
